MICRONICS Flow:watchWhat are the benefits of using

clamp-on flow and energy monitoring Technology?

Micronics Clamp-on Flow Meters provide cost effective solution to improve energy monitoring and efficiency in large Bedfordshire hospital.

In the current climate of NHS cuts it is more important than ever for a Trust to use every means to save resources without direct effects on patients. Similarly, with the prevailing focus on reducing energy consumption because of climate change, it is vital to keep a close eye on energy usage and make efficiency savings wherever possible. One way of fulfilling both these ambitions is to keep stringent controls on the use of heat and domestic hot water consumption.

Managers at an acute, district general hospital, which provides healthcare services to over 270,000 people in north and mid Bedfordshire, wanted to understand their consumption of hot water which would in turn allow them to identify the requirements for replacing their equipment with the most energy efficient solution.

They called in ETA Energy Systems Ltd, Bedford-based consultants, designers and suppliers of specialised energy equipment and systems who work with the Carbon Trust to reduce energy usage. ETA specialise in determining that pumps, flow-rates and balancing valves are correctly set.

Peter Richardson, ETA’s MD commented,

“During our assessment of the Hospital’s needs, we established full weekly hot water consumption profiles allowing equipment to be accurately selected and specified for the replacement project. Having considered various measurement alternatives two Micronics PF330 meters were selected due to the ease of installation and the maintenance and service benefits delivered by this non-contact technology.”

The specialist Micronics product, used for clean liquid monitoring, with its integral logger and software and non-invasive

measurement represented significant savings on installation costs and less disruption than when installing an alternative in-line meter.

The Micronics clamp-on flowmeter for liquids is portable and easy to use and offers continuity and long term reliability. It is robustly constructed and provides a quick and reliable means of measuring flow accurately.

In this example, the meters have been installed at a number of locations for a trial period in order to determine the appropriate size of the new equipment and to make sure that it is the most efficient possible for the task. Staff will be able to monitor flow rates and calculate energy and therefore cost and carbon footprint implications.

Micronics were selected as the supplier due to their extensive experience with clamp-on, ultrasonic, flow measurement technology and their competitive pricing in comparison to similar technology solutions or alternatives which would have required considerable construction work. This example demonstrates that the opportunity for replication and contribution to good energy management in similar schemes across the UK is extensive.

INDUSTRY

Environmental Treatment Concepts use Micronics Clamp-On Flow & Heat Measurement in Sustainable Water Treatment projects.

Demonstrating the benefits includingimprovements in the potential performance and energy savings from the retrofit installation of Sustainable Water Treatment to existing building services is a major factor in the take-up and case for investment. And being able to demonstrate what’s flowing where, not flowing or even flowing backwards can go a long way to establishing confidence with potential customers that your company knows what it’s doing!

Surveying existing large-scale heating and HWS installations to establish a basis for installing improvements can be a daunting task and Environmental Treatment Concepts (ETC) www.electronicdescaler.com have found that the PF330 portable clamp-on flow and heat-meter from Micronics www.micronicsflowmeters.com is an ideal tool for the job.

Established in 1989 ETC has helped manycommercial and industrial clients save thousands of pounds with their Effective Physical Water Treatment. Water that is naturally hard, as in 70% of the UK contains dissolved calcium and other minerals and their effect on pipe work and water systems can be disastrous including reducing heat exchanger energy efficiency by up-to 40% due to lime scale build-up.

The Micronics products are used to demonstrate how bad the performance is before installation and the improvements in efficiency following installation with LTHW pipe sizes ranging from circa 2 to 18 inches. The ETC products prevent new and reduce existing lime scale, water flow rate is a key factor in the process and the PF330 provides the essential information for assessment and timeframes for improvement.

Having considered various suppliers ETC selected the Micronics – PF330 - Time of Flight - portable flow instrument plus heat-meter data-logger. Portable Clamp-On Ultrasonic flow measurement has clear advantages for survey work and Micronics were selected as the supplier due to a combination of their long-term experience with non-invasive, Clamp-On technology, product performance and pre-order assistance.

ETC Technical Services Manager - Simon Elliot says “The PF330 has proved to be a great tool to undertake plant surveys including identification of circulation shortfalls, even pumps going backwards. It provides a real insight into what’s going on, like having X-ray vision. And it’s also a valuable tool for demonstrating how well our installations work to improve performance and reduce energy consumption. The Micronics website and pre-order support was good and the products are simple to use. We’ve got a lot of Public sector – MOD and Hospital installations with very old pipe work where we’ve been pleased with the product performance and the ongoing service support has been there when we’ve needed it.”

Using the CalecST Heat Meter in conjunction with a clamp-on Ultrasonic Flowmeter is a cost effective solution to improve energy measurement and management.

Packaging potatoes may seem like a straightforward industry but there are significant challenges including monitoring the flow rate of effluent from sites. This is particularly difficult in locations where there is no mains power available. Such was the case for one of the UKs leading suppliers who have packing and processing sites located around the main potato growing areas in the Scottish borders. They needed a system that could stand alone and would provide a logged reading for their local trade effluent officer to check as and when necessary. Effluent leaves the site via a pipe with an internal diameter of 150mm and this pipe often runs with a very shallow depth of effluent. The pipe empties into a brick channel which is open to the atmosphere, so any gauging structure that was installed in this channel could give false high readings as it would not only be measuring the site’s effluent, but also surface water and rain water, it was therefore imperative that the flow measurement took place in the actual effluent pipe.

Steve Laddle, Sales Director of Bedford-based Servitech International was called in to recommend a solution. Servitech is a privately owned, independent company that provides maintenance, support, repair, supply and installation services for all water, wastewater and process instrumentation including all analytical and physical measurements and covering all different manufacturers’ equipment. The independent company specializes in tailor made solutions for all manner of applications, and is able to offer a complete turnkey installation service, from excavation and groundwork’s through to specifying the instruments, installing and commissioning, and finally maintaining them once they are in operation.

Servitech selected the Micronics PF LV550 portable area/velocity logger with mounting bands, which offered ease of installation

and set up and is highly flexible as it is battery powered.

The company had used Micronics products in the past when it was necessary to hire portable flow meters for verification of fixed site systems, such as magflow meters. They have found Micronics staff to be knowledgeable and helpful and were therefore comfortable that they would be able to help with this particularly awkward application. As they were not the end user they needed to have complete trust that any suppliers would not approach the customer directly.

Steve and his client were both delighted that they chose Micronics for this job.

“The PF LV550 was delivered to our offices in Bedford and was programmed for the installation via a laptop with an RS232 port. Our installation engineer then travelled to the Scottish Borders and using the mounting band was able to install and commission the system with minimum fuss. As the site was 300 miles and a 6 hour drive away, it was important that the system was absolutely right for the application and had a degree of flexibility in the event of any problems. The PF LV550 system made this possible, along with the support provided by Micronics when the engineer was familiarising himself with the system before attending site. The portable nature of the system has saved the customer a considerable amount of money in terms of cabling costs, and the flexibility of the sensor has meant that no bespoke gauging structure was required.”

Servitech would definitely recommend the use of Micronics products in general and the PF LV550 in particular. The customer was very happy with the service provided and the resulting installation and data that PF LV550 provides. And they would certainly use the PF LV550 in any similar applications that present themselves.

Micronics Clamp-on Flow Switches provide cost effective solution to eliminate algae growth problem on flow monitoring of wash-water flow at Wessex Water.

There was a problem at Wessex Water, a regional water and sewage treatment company in the southwest of England. The flow sensors being used for confirmation of wash-water flow to plant and equipment were found to be growing algae. The thermal dispersion flow switch and the wash-water in the systems used either final effluent from the plant or partially treated water from some other point in the treatment process. The water content plus the increase in temperature on the probe was producing a food-rich and warm place for the propagation of algae. This affected the thermal dispersion from the probe to the point where the probes no longer detected flow. Removal from the pipeline would traditionally involve the isolation and draining of the wash-water lines.

Trant Construction, who undertake Civil Mechanical and Electrical projects for major UK and overseas water companies were called in. They identified that a non-intrusive, cost-effective and simple to operate sensor that would not be subject to fouling was required. Various alternatives were considered until Dave Rich of Trant Construction discovered the Micronics DFS-II Doppler Flow Switch and agreed with the client to trial one unit for pipelines ranging from 32mm to 300mm, dependant on the velocity of flow through the pipe-work.

The DFS-II is designed for “dirty” liquids. The sensing is non-invasive, working by injecting high frequency sound through the pipe wall into the flowing liquid. Acoustic pulses are continuously reflected back to the sensor and the DFS-II measures a frequency shift to

calculate flow velocity. It controls flow without any drop in pressure, no sensor fouling and minimal maintenance. Installation takes just a few minutes because there is no need to cut into pipes resulting in a major saving in time and plant outage.

The trial was successful and Wessex Water are now using the Micronics flow switches for most applications, including not only wash-water but pump discharge monitoring where some non-return valves had proved to be unreliable.

Dave Rich is pleased with his choice. “I would definitely recommend the use of the DFS-II. The objective in this particular project was to eliminate algae in a cost-effective, timely manner. Micronics DFS-II fulfilled this objective as well as offering considerable other benefits.”

PA Energy use Micronics Ultrasonic, Clamp-On Flow & Heat Meters to monitor and improve water and energy saving projects.

Monitoring the performance of water and energy saving initiatives is essential to demonstrate the benefits, ensuring that systems operate to specification and are tuned for maximum savings to deliver fast pay-back on investments. And London based PA Energy who specialise in the supply, installation and ongoing monitoring of turnkey sub-metering systems have used Micronics ultrasonic, clamp-on flow and heat metering products to good effect on a wide range of water and or energy saving projects.

The projects have included rainwater harvesting, fuel cell and solar/thermal installations on commercial buildings in the London area and the simple clamp-on, non-invasive solutions from Micronics have offered significant advantages over the traditional alternative of in-line meters and their requirement for system drain-down, pipe cutting, re-filling systems and the associated costs, which are all avoided by the use of a clamp-on solution.

For the rainwater harvesting project a claim for a reduction in the sewage charge is being developed by using a Micronics U3000 to demonstrate how much rainwater is being dumped to sewage by metering the amount of water being pumped into a grey water tank in comparison to the boosted cooling water entering the tank. Another application was measuring the LTHW heat flow from a fuel cell calorifier again with a U3000 to demonstrate the performance of the fuel cell process. And yet another was monitoring the heat transfer/performance from a solar/thermal panel by measuring the water /glycol mix and differential flow and return temperature

with a heat calculator to calculate heat transfer to the buffer vessel heat exchanger to demonstrate the performance of the solar/thermal system i.e. that it was performing to specification.

PA Energy selected clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters for the clear advantages of being low cost, non disruptive and simple to install in comparison to in-line meters and Micronics were selected as the supplier due to a combination of their long-term experience with non-invasive, clamp-on technology, product performance and pre-order assistance.

PA’s Managing Director - Percy Albuquerque says “The Micronics clamp-on flow meters have proved to be an effective component in providing accurate water flow and heat measurement data for our web based aM&T plus data analysis services. The product performance has been good, even on partially filled pipes and on the rare occasions that we have had application problems the Micronics support has been good.”

The potential for similar use is significant and PA’s experience is an example of how clamp-on, ultrasonic technology can be successfully implemented to gather information and demonstrate the performance of water and energy saving installations.
